Potential new features

Potential new features

We have already come to know the potential features that might be included in the Xiaomi MIUI 9. The update seems to have removed the basic functionality such as SMS scheduling as this feature is used by just a few users. The MIUI 9 will remove this feature in order to use the processing power to the other functions that might be useful.

Interestingly, this iteration of Xiaomi's UI will bring the ability to delete the system apps that come preloaded. It is also expected to bring about new features and optimizations that might offer a better user experience. The MIUI 9 will also bring in picture-in-picture mode and split screen features to the Xiaomi devices.
